A first of its kind fusion of interactive theatre, performance art/installation, culinary art, music, and fine wines.

It's pioneering genius Sean Rogg is not just a film maker and nor just a wine connoisseur, but a true artist.

Rogg has successfully managed to put together a tricky production with a successful outcome in putting together all aspects and ingredients for such an unforgettable experience.

Such a production and experience would always only work by keeping all its important factors, such as fine wine, tasty food offering, outstanding performers, perfect lighting, and suiting background music, no less.

Hence, the asking price of this experience is quite justifiable and won't work or be good enough otherwise.

Kinda like a new escape from say corporate life and a stress reliever, as it categorically/seemingly transports you into another dimension.

Each experience in a particular box/scene/stage may perhaps have gotten inspiration from a variety of films from the likes of Pasollini's "Salo" to that cult German flick "The Centipede". But all in a comfortable setting and process, that's quite enjoyable.

Personally -for someone who has lost ones sense of smell and taste blunted for life, I must say it all somehow came back in this experience.

Regardless if you appreciate art in whatever level, The Waldorf Project is an experience that one has to try.

And whether you like it or not, I would argue and defend it to anyone who says its pretentious bullshit.
